Otto Runs for President by Rosemary Wells
Three dogs run for president at a kindergarten.  There are a lot of false accusations and bickering between Tiffany the poodle, Otto and Charles the bulldog.  I don't think there are a lot of election type picture books.
 
Super Guinea Pig to the Rescue by Udo Weigelt
With a title like that, how can you lose?  Cast of characters:  a guinea pig, canary, goldfish and hound dog.  They like to watch TV and one day the guinea pig pretends to be a caped crusader but when he falls into the goldfish bowl, his efforts turn out to be less than heroic.  Cool pictures, fun story.
 
Everywhere the Cow Says "Moo!" by Ellen Slusky Weinstein
This is a funny book that shows animal onomatopoeia for different countries.  English, French, Spanish and Japanese are highlighted.  For all countries, animals make different noises--except of course for the cow.  Fun book.
